Sales tax holiday

Holly Robichaud Tuesday, August 10, 2010

Are you going to take advantage of this weekend's sale tax holiday? Are you grateful that our elected leaders are allowing you to keep more of your money?

Quite frankly voters should consider this sales tax holiday an insult to their intelligence. Last year there was no break for taxpayers because it was not an election year. Now that we are less than 85 days until the election, politicians decided to give us a break from the tax they raised.

If you want a permanent break from Taxachusetts, you have three options this year.

1. You can vote out the Governor and the Democrat members of the legislature.

2. You can vote for the ballot question to roll back the sales tax, but you still need a new legislature in order to prevent them from overturning it.

3. You can relocate to New Hampshire. Unfortunately, Obama will still get you up there.
